You're right, this was written from the perspective of someone whose history 
books have a somewhat different perspective of the war than most of the 
world.

I've changed it to read,

"Here is a unique peek into the American past. Dec 5, 1941, just 2 days 
before the attack on Pearl Harbor, some folks were spending a carefree 
Friday evening around their new Packard-Bell Phonocord 78 rpm record 
recording machine, unaware that come Sunday morning, the seemingly distant 
wars in Europe and Asia would envelope the United States."

Better?? CDB

Maybe the writer should have said "their world".

I particulary love the part of the youtube info that says:

I alwys thought WW II began in September 1939. But that was Europe. The
World was plunged into war in December 1941. Cute.
Reminds me of another ethnocentric joke, a headline from a British
newspaper: "Fog over the Channel - Europe isolated".
